🛠️ Build your own custom AI solutions

Hey there.

Millions of people now use the same tools in similar ways. 

So the real competitive advantage isn't just using AI to help you work faster, it's building AI tools specifically designed for your unique workflows to completely change how your work gets done.

Inside The Rundown AI University, more of our members are creating tailored AI solutions that fit their specific needs — rather than adapting their processes to fit existing tools.

Now you can start building your own custom AI automations that:

Automate your communication workflows

Build an AI voice assistant that handles calls while you focus elsewhere

If your workflows still handle phone calls the same way they would have 20 years ago. regardless of the call complexity, you might be looking at your biggest productivity killer.. 

This outdated approach creates:

• Missed opportunities when no one is available to answer

• Wasted talent as skilled employees handle routine inquiries

• Inconsistent experiences depending on who picks up

• Limited availability outside business hours

Now, you can create sophisticated AI-powered voice assistants (with human-like voices) that handle appointment scheduling, lead qualification, or customer support.

The system understands natural language, routes complex inquiries to the right people, and works 24/7 without breaks — all while maintaining your brand's voice and personality.

Start a 14-day trial to The Rundown AI University and watch ‘Build your first AI voice assistant’ to walk through the entire process of building your own voice assistant—from configuration to testing—so you can deploy a system that handles routine calls while you focus on high-value work.

Scale your outreach with personalized communication that feels human

Traditional lead outreach forces an impossible choice: personalization or scale. You either create targeted messages for a few prospects or send generic templates to many. Regardless of the industry you work in, your competitors are likely doing the same.

The most successful professionals have moved beyond this limitation by creating automated systems that:

• Research each prospect individually using publicly available information

• Draft genuinely personalized emails based on that research

• Process your entire lead list in parallel

• Maintain the human touch that generic templates lack

Start a 14-day trial to The Rundown AI University and watch 'Build an AI-powered lead outreach automation' to learn how to build this system from scratch, leveraging AI to handle both the research and writing while you focus on relationship-building with qualified leads.

Create purpose-built sales and marketing assets

Build an AI sales rep that qualifies leads for you

Lead qualification is one of the most crucial—and time-consuming—parts of the sales process. Without effective filtering, you’ll waste valuable hours on prospects that aren't ready to buy.

Smart sales professionals are creating AI-powered qualification systems that:

• Automatically filter inbound leads based on specific criteria

• Draft personalized follow-up emails for qualified prospects

• Integrate with existing CRM and email systems

• Scale without adding headcount

Start a 14-day trial to The Rundown AI University and watch 'Build an AI sales rep that qualifies leads' to learn how to set up this automated qualification system, helping you focus your sales efforts exclusively on high-potential opportunities.

Transform video content into SEO-optimized blog posts

Videos perform well on social media, but blog posts drive more search traffic. Creating both formats requires double the work, or results in half the output.

Forward-thinking professionals have solved this problem by building systems that:

• Analyze video transcripts for key points and insights

• Generate structured content optimized for search engines

• Create engaging headlines and meta descriptions

• Preserve original insights while adapting for text

Start a 14-day trial to The Rundown AI University and watch 'Transform YouTube Videos into High-Ranking Blog Posts' to learn how to maximize your content ROI without the traditional effort of manual repurposing.

Accelerate your AI-powered ideas

Create conversational branches to explore multiple ideas simultaneously 

The linear nature of most AI chats forces you to choose a single direction, losing valuable context when you want to explore alternatives.

Innovative AI users have discovered how to create multiple conversation paths that:

• Branch from a single starting point without losing context

• Allow exploration of different variations simultaneously

• Enable comparison of alternative approaches side-by-side

• Maintain full context across all branches

Start a 14-day trial to The Rundown AI University and watch 'Create conversational branches to explore different ideas' to learn how to leverage this powerful technique to test multiple ideas, approaches, or solutions simultaneously — significantly accelerating your development process.
